Apparently, this film, Pao de Acucar, ran out of money and wasn't completed until later. It stars Rhonda Fleming and Rossano Brazzi. Fleming is Pamela Jones, an actress from America in Brazil on vacation. There, she meets and falls in love with Claudio DeSantis (Brazzi), a coffee plantation owner, and they marry.
Pamela isn't used to being a traditional wife, and Claudio has to be away for work much of the time. It's boring for her. She decides to leave him, but she's in for a surprise.
If it weren't for the color -- and how can you make a film with Rhonda Fleming without making it in color -- and Fleming's beauty and outfits -- this film wouldn't be worth watching. There's really not much to it.
A photographer once photographed Fleming with no special light, and also in unflattering, awful light, and guess what, she looked the same - gorgeous. While she was not Meryl Streep, she was a pretty good actress as well, though, with her looks, she wasn't given many opportunities to show her abilities. She acquits herself well here, though this wasn't a high point in anyone's career.
